Signatures of the Invisible: New Considerations for Xenon Dark Matter Searches

Description:

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the largest open questions in modern physics despite the many searches for particle dark matter around the world. The search for dark matter particles with masses above 5 GeV/$c^2$ is led by the dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber (LXe-TPC) detector technology which...

Eliminating Backgrounds in the Search for Dark Matter with the PICO-60 Bubble Chamber

Description:

Dark matter represents one of the most sought after discoveries in physics, and leading theories predict that extremely low-background detectors could be sensitive to nuclear recoils from dark matter interactions. The PICO collaboration uses bubble chambers to look for the energy deposition from such an interaction. However, unknown backgrounds have...
